Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Room Key at none against NFC Tag Manager's 1. Room Key also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). NFC Tag Manager's advantage is ratings volume (164 vs 3) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
